To make any changes to the OWA 2010 timeout (public or private), it is a registry edit on the CAS server. If you have more than one CAS, the change has to be made on all CAS servers.

Launch registry edit and navigate to the following location. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSExchange OWA

Change the DWORD “PublicTimeout” / “PrivateTimeout” and put the required value in minutes. If the DWORD doesn’t exist, create them. My example shows the timeout value to be 480 (minutes), which is 8 hours.

Hi,
The time-out period of an OWA session depends on whether a user selects the This is a public or shared computer option or the This is a private computer option when the user logs on to OWA.

By default, the time-out values are set in Microsoft Exchange as follows:

Option                                                                         Time-out value
This is a public or shared computer                       The OWA session ends, and the user is automatically logged off after 15 minutes of inactivity.
This is a private computer                                        The OWA session ends, and the user is automatically logged off after 8 hours of inactivity.
